  2. Relative velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_velocity

    The relative velocity of an object B relative to an observer A, denoted (also or ⁡), is the velocity vector of B measured in the rest frame of A. The relative speed v B ∣ A = ‖ v B ∣ A ‖ {\displaystyle v_{B\mid A}=\|\mathbf {v} _{B\mid A}\|} is the vector norm of the relative velocity.

  3. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    The set of all displacements of M relative to F is called the configuration space of M. A smooth curve from one position to another in this configuration space is a continuous set of displacements, called the motion of M relative to F. The motion of a body consists of a continuous set of rotations and translations.

  4. Kinematic pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematic_pair

    In classical mechanics, a kinematic pair is a connection between two physical objects that imposes constraints on their relative movement ().German engineer Franz Reuleaux introduced the kinematic pair as a new approach to the study of machines [1] that provided an advance over the notion of elements consisting of simple machines.

  5. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    There are two main descriptions of motion: dynamics and kinematics.Dynamics is general, since the momenta, forces and energy of the particles are taken into account. In this instance, sometimes the term dynamics refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler–Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.

  6. Lorentz transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_transformation

    Transformations describing relative motion with constant (uniform) velocity and without rotation of the space coordinate axes are called Lorentz boosts or simply boosts, and the relative velocity between the frames is the parameter of the transformation.

  7. Motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion

    A car is moving in high speed during a championship, with respect to the ground the position is changing according to time hence the car is in relative motion . In physics, motion is when an object changes its position with respect to a reference point in a given time.

  8. Degrees of freedom (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrees_of_freedom_(mechanics)

    A fixed-wing aircraft, with 3–4 control DOFs (forward motion, roll, pitch, and to a limited extent, yaw) in a 3-D space, is also non-holonomic, as it cannot move directly up/down or left/right. A summary of formulas and methods for computing the degrees-of-freedom in mechanical systems has been given by Pennestri, Cavacece, and Vita.

  9. Normal mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_mode

    For example, a vibrating rope in 2D space is defined by a single-frequency (1D axial displacement), but a vibrating rope in 3D space is defined by two frequencies (2D axial displacement). For a given amplitude on the modal variable, each mode will store a specific amount of energy because of the sinusoidal excitation.
